One question — how to pronounce anthraxoiasis?

Anthrax-o-i-a-sis ♥️

 

I just split loads of words I like (thermonuclear, diameter, eclectic, rhythmic, sociology, vibration, metric, etc) and put them together in a smart way then polished it with AI which helped to make sure the definitions were congruent with the basic greek root words. Glad you liked them ♥️

Metanonduality.

Quote

In essence: perceiving metanonduality is like seeing — and resting in — the awareness that awareness all by itself and realizing nothing is happening but pure presence.

Symbolic education.

Education that is lacking in real life applicability and therefor lacking educational substance and purpose, IE. education that is largely a waste of time because it is useless. Like symbolic politics, it is meant to signal action without necesarilly being of substance.

Note, any education is more educational than no education, but it is a matter of relative substance. Learning Latin is relatively useless compared to essential math and calculus or topics that are life changing but not taught at school like socializing or spirituality. 

The purpose of symbolic education is to exclude people who lack particular credentials from getting certain jobs/educations. It is a gatekeeping tool for institutions to reduce applicants. As a society, we don't talk much about the degree to which our education system is essentially symbolic as opposed to truly educational. We ignore it because it is too convenient to set arbitrary standards for excluding people that we can control. 

 

[Basman]

Algorythmic. 

When information prioritizes social media engagement over truth and factuallity. 

When something is algorythmic there's a greater risk for misinformation and exaggeration of certain points, often to the point of charicature. It often appeals to fears and paranoias of certain people. It creates and spreads distorted beliefs and attitudes in people that quickly turns ideological, but which is often partial and inconcistent since it's based predominately on what is algorythmically spread. For example hating on Only Fans but not Pornhub (there's mostly only an algorythmic bias against OF specifically).

An algorythmic bias has a distorting effect not only how information is spread and what beliefs are adopted, but also what is being talked about in the first place. 

There's also a tendency for algorythmic topics and conversation to turn more and more extreme because extreme content is more engaging. Algorythmic contributes significantly to the polarization of online discourse, especially politics. It disinhibits one's relation to reality and makes you insane. Terminally online people are highly algorythmic because of how much time they spent submerged in an algorythmic mire.

Groufey= Something so unexplainable that it's explainable.

Example: This psychdelic trip was Grouefy.

Groufey is not something unexplainable, it is a word for explaining the unexplainable.

Use:

The nature of our work is many times unexplainable. Having a word to point to something that is so inexplainable that it's explainable is important, to emphasize the strange loopines, of how some things can be so unexplainable that it's explainable.

That something is groufey is an excellent example how something unexplainable have gone full circle and become explainable.

It is not unexplainable, it's groufey

Let me know what you think

Guru bias (noun) - When Leo or another teacher says something that doesn't resonate, but you're too attached to him as a teacher so you forget to question what is being said and take it on as a belief.

Action-realization (noun) - When you awaken to the fact that no amount of reading books, consuming content or learning new information will teach you anything that will significantly improve your life - synonymous with realizing that you just need to do the work, and no further theoretical knowledge is needed

Gurucharm (noun) - A spiritual teacher that is too charismatic, charming and confident for his own good, resulting in followers simply believing what the teacher says.

Antiexognosis (noun) - The feeling that one can only trust his or her own mind when it comes to the truth of things. The feeling that no teacher, book or external source can point to the truth better than ones own mind can.
